Wow! What a great way to revisit a year in your life! The selfies are great! So much better than the way-too-numerous selfies I see that includes pursed lips and nothing more :) You've traveled to some really cool places; the nature spots were incredible to see.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. My son struggles with addiction and mental illness, so your words on the stigma hit home with me. He's currently doing well and of course I hope that it continues.
Before I forget, I found your post because @bengy featured you in a Pay it Forward Curation Contest entry; please feel free to join us with an entry of your own some week :) We'd love to have you there!
I wish you a happy, peaceful and healthy 2019 :) Thanks again for an awesome post.
